284 Please Me 6 (2/2)

”Wait a minute! If he rents a house nearby, wouldn't you two be openly showing up together very often around my estate?” Jin Qingyan questioned.

”Wouldn't that be okay?”

”Of course not! If you don't wish to see me kill him, then you'd better make him move to another city,” Jin Qingyan warned sternly.

”Then I'll leave together with him. Forget about seeing me again for the rest of your life!” Mrs. Jin retorted angrily.

”Sure, it doesn't matter to me anyway. Do you really think I can't live without my mother?”

”Qingyan!” Not wishing to live her remaining days branded as an adulterer, Mrs. Jin gave in. ”I promise we won't appear in public together under broad daylight. Will that do?”

”He is to rent a house at least five kilometers away from my estate. Otherwise, you're on your own.” Jin Qingyan detested the butler to the point that he wished he could just behead him.

”Alright, got it. I'll move in alone then,” said Mrs. Jin before hanging up the phone.

Staring at his phone screen, Jin Qingyan blocked the butler's mobile number and began driving back to Dongpo District. Just as he arrived at the backyard, a pleasant fragrance wafted up to his nose.

He peeked inside to find that his dainty woman, An Xiaoning, was cooking up a meal while wearing an apron, in spite of her mediocre culinary skills.

”Are you cooking?” he asked, hugging her from behind.

”Yes, I'm learning how to.”

”Let me teach you,” he said, grabbing her hand to guide her in stir-frying the dishes.

Beaming with joy, An Xiaoning looked up at him and said, ”I feel just like we're acting out a scene from a romantic drama.”

”Really?” he asked.

”You seem to be in a bad mood. What happened?” An Xiaoning managed to sense his unhappiness due to her sensitive character.

”My mother has been on a search for a house to move into the whole day and said that she wouldn't be comfortable with living in a smaller house. Thus, she wants to move into our previous bridal chamber, and she even said that she'd like for the butler to move in together with her. But no way am I allowing that. In the end, she agreed to move in alone,” Jin Qingyan explained, fuming with anger at the thought of his conversation with his mother earlier.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”Ever since we got married, my impression of your mother has changed drastically. I used to see her as a good role model and a perfect mother-in-law, but after everything that happened, I view her in a completely different light now,” An Xiaoning remarked.

”Do you remember the half-sister from another mother I mentioned to you before? Do you know how her mother died?”

”Did your mother kill her?” the intelligent An Xiaoning guessed it right away.

”You may say so. That woman stirred up a huge dispute in my family back then and requested my father to give her a proper status. My mother was no saint either and went all out in dealing with her. That woman died afterwards. My mother would often get very agitated at the sight of my father's illegitimate daughter. But then again, my mother did commit adultery herself too. She ought to be punished for her sins.”

With no desire to mince his words or hide the truth at all, Jin Qingyan added, ”I was thinking, I might just lose all my respect for her one day. I don't expect you to respect her either.”

An Xiaoning found it rather heartwarming to hear him bare his heart and soul to her and reveal things he normally would not tell anyone easily. She was glad to know that she had a special place in his heart.

”I think you're doing the right thing. You're not obliged to give in unconditionally just because she's your parent. So, I don't think you're wrong at all,” An Xiaoning reassured him while holding his gaze.

He lowered his head to give her a nibble while she stretched her neck to kiss him back. They engaged in a deep, passionate kiss in the midst of cooking up a dish.

They pulled away from each other moments later and continued to concentrate on cooking.

Together, they prepared a delectable feast of four dishes and a pot of soup.

They sat down opposite each other. ”I need to eat more,” said An Xiaoning as she picked up her bowl of rice and a pair of chopsticks and began eating without waiting for him.
